GOLDS LACKS INTRINSIC VALUE
Gold price-watching has become nothing more than a game for some
investor, while others are watching intently for the end of the gold
bull market. Also, there are those who act as if their entire life
and well-being depend on the ups and downs of gold prices.
Many gold bugs refuse to losten to the fact that gold's value as an
investment requires predicting overall psychological and monetary
demands in the future compared to now. It's essentially impossible
to do with anything close to precision.
Many people don't seem to understand that gold has no intrinsic value.
It doesn't earn any profits, such as dividends, and unless there is
a demand for it in the market, gold will sit idle in some vaults.
Today's bullish/bearish gold sentiments are mismatched. Bulls list
gold's preservation and protection strengths and bear points to its
hig price. According to gold market experts, today's gold price is
not determined by the mining of gold or how much gold is still
underground. This does not necessarily mean that the gold price does
not determine the amount of gold extracted from below the surface
given the cost of extraction.
The overall consent among many experts is that investors and speculators
determine today's gold price bt supply and demand.
